Horsebridge questions
What’s the nearest station to Horsebridge?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
How far is Horsebridge from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
All of Hampshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Horsebridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Questions to ask before booking
- Staffing on the day
- Whether plates or china are included
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
